Hi everyone, Im currently recreating a gulf station counter from the 1970-1975 and would really appreciate information if you know what it would look like back then I unfortunately wasn't alive during the era and don't know. Im just a enthusiast. I appreciate anything you can tell me.
Some general questions I have are:

Were lottery tickets sold at the station and if so where were they located inside?

What was under the countertop surface below where you would pay? any magazines? snacks?

Beside the payment mat what else was sold or was on the countertop where you would pay?

Was there a countertop protector over the countertop surface such as a acrylic plastic cover?

What was the typical material and color of the countertop where you would pay?

What was the make/model of the cash register? where was it located?

Anything would help as well as any other info you think I may need thank you very much for looking/commenting
